Continuous integration (CI)
is confusing. As with all ideas, everybody does their own version of it in
practice.
Get a clear, concise summary of CI, continuous deployment and continuous delivery.
Understand how these practices complement each other,
and how they can help you develop robust software faster.

MeteorJS stands out among the recent big Javascript
frameworks with its radical view on creating web applications. It seamlessly
connects the client side code with a Node +
MongoDB based backend and promises unbelievably
fast application development.

builds and deploys, coupled with decreased performance. First, we want to
apologize for that. We know it messed up your workdays. That's not how we want

With great pleasure we are announcing that Semaphore
is extending its hosted continuous integration and deployment service with
support for Bitbucket repositories. Bitbucket is a
source code hosting platform for the distributed version control
systems (DVCS) Git and Mercurial, made by Atlassian.

In the “Developer Interview” series
we talk to developers from some of the companies using
Semaphore to find out how they work and share
their insights with you. This time we chatted with
Devon Noel de Tilly, QA Engineer at
